about CliniCal trials<br />
Potential new drugs are being tested at care centers all over the United States by<br />
people with CF of all ages. Your CF care center is a great source for news about<br />
current CF research.<br />
Most CF care centers have a research team in charge of clinical trials. The research<br />
doctors (usually called “investigators”) and research coordinators can provide you<br />
with information about current clinical trials and answer all your questions.<br />
The research team asks people with CF to join clinical trials and work closely with<br />
them throughout the clinical trial process. Be sure to ask your doctor, nurse or a<br />
research team member to keep you informed—new trials are always being added.<br />
You can find more information on the CF <strong>Foundation</strong> website, www.cff.org, including<br />
an online search tool to help you find CF clinical trials in your area. The tool allows<br />
you to narrow your search—for example, by age, lung function or type of therapy—<br />
and provides information on specific clinical trials that you can then discuss with<br />
your CF care team.<br />
